Everything relates to time
Even before there were clocks
From the Earth to the Moon
Old and dusty rocks
Since the ignition
Of the Universe’s Big Bang
Clockless hands were ticking
And the voice of time has sang
Changes upon the planet
As continents rearrange
Life and death on Earth
Asteroids will exchange
The evolution of man
Down through the ages
Reading, writing and speaking
Recording history’s pages
Time a great teacher
As evidenced upon the wall
The writing clearly written
Read when debt comes to call
The ghost of time
Haunting future’s place
Recalling the past
Casting a new face
To fully appreciate
Time’s inherent value
An artist, poet, historian
Giving time its due
